Frequently Asked Questions
What cutting capacity does the HBS 230 offer?
See "Cutting width" and "Cutting height" in the technical table: typically 225-305 mm in width and 95-170 mm in height for benchtop/semi-pro models.
The cutting width is the distance between the blade and the machine's throat. The cutting height determines the maximum workpiece thickness. For resawing large pieces (250+ mm), professional models with 500+ mm flywheels are needed.
Does it have multiple cutting speeds?
Professional models offer 2 speeds (e.g., 370/800 m/min) to adapt to materials: low for hardwoods, high for softwoods.
Lower speeds reduce the risk of burning on hard woods (oak, beech). High speeds optimize performance on pine and particle boards.
Is the table inclinable?
Yes, professional models have an inclinable table up to 45° for angled cuts.
The inclination allows for miter cuts for joints and furniture details. Check for a stop at 0° inclination for repeatability on straight cuts.
What power supply does it require?
Benchtop and compact models are 230 V single-phase (0.3-0.75 kW motor). Professional models with 500+ mm flywheels require 400 V three-phase.
For workshops without a three-phase line, choose HBS 320, HBS 360, or HBS 400 (single-phase) models. HBS 500 N and HBS 600 N models require mandatory three-phase.
Does it have an integrated dust extraction outlet?
Yes, professional models have a Ø 50-100 mm dust extraction outlet for connection to a chip extraction system.
Dust extraction is essential for air quality in the workshop. Krollit provides compatible Bernardo DC series extractors and dedicated connection hoses.
